    I had my book published today. Waiting to receive its ISBN now. I have no delusions of becoming a great writer or anything, but did this so I could say it was done. Not only that, will give my granddaughter something to laugh about after I'm gone (or maybe even while I'm still here).:lol:

    Well, congrats. I didn't write a book... but I'm in one. LOL I sent the author about 65 pages of answers to questions. He said, you should be writing this book. I said NO.... you had the courage to attack the thing.... I wish you well. LOL I love to procrastinate. LOL Congrats on the book... give us the name and where we can buy it and your sales will explode... a little. I buy a lot of books from Amazon. Just recieved 5 today. I have been locked in my reading mode most of the evening. I spend half the day with my 94 year old aunt in a rehab facility.

    It's entitled "As I See It" and it's about life in the country, this year's bow hunts, morality, politics, religion, etc. There's humor in it and then some not so funny prose on other topics. One chapter "How to Rejuvenate Your Marriage" was given to 20 females to read after I finished it and it got rave reviews. There are a few stories about raising my children. It goes on for 214 [ages. I had photos in it between chapters but it was going to cost too much to publish that way. Anyway, I've left something for my granddaughter.
